adapted environment

from hand to head

say the experts

The child discovers the world with their hands, and sees, smells and touches everything they find.

They learn about the world around them through their senses. This sensory approach to learning can be transferred to anything that is new and unfamiliar to the child, including learning about letters, numbers, and other abstract concepts.

By using concrete learning tools and physical objects in teaching, the child learns on his own terms. When all the senses are involved in the learning process, it becomes easier for the child to understand and remember information. The knowledge simply sticks in the body.

What characterizes Montessori's learning tools:

Simple and functional

The equipment is beautifully crafted in solid wood, with strong colors. It is intuitive and easy to use.

Self-correcting

The learning tool has a built-in answer, allowing the child to explore different methods and find the answer themselves.

Natural materials

The learning tool is made from natural materials and designed to withstand use by many children's hands.

how

get started

Before you introduce your child to a new learning tool, it's a good idea to be a little prepared. A well-fed and rested toddler is a great starting point.

We also recommend that you read the "how to use the product" section on the product page, and test the learning tool yourself before showing it to your child.

Children are curious, so if you're sitting around and tinkering with an activity, they'll probably want to join in.

Development

Fine motor skills

The Montessori materials are designed to support children's motor development. Fine motor skills are the ability to use small muscles in the hands and fingers to perform precise movements and carry out activities such as eating, dressing, and eventually using the hand to write.

Sensory development

Sensory development is the process by which a child learns to use their senses to understand the world around them. This includes sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell. By talking to your child about what we see, hear, taste and feel, we can stimulate language development and conceptual understanding.

Conceptual understanding

Good conceptual understanding is a cornerstone of children's cognitive development. When children have a good understanding of basic concepts, they can more easily learn new things, solve problems, and think critically. They can also communicate more effectively and express themselves more precisely.

Montessori tips for curious little ones

Independence

Give your child responsibility for dressing themselves, cleaning their room, and choosing their own activities. Be patient and let your child take the time they need to master new skills.

Cognitive development

Offer a wide range of learning tools for problem solving, logical thinking and concentration. Talk together, sing, play and play. Play is the child's most important learning arena.
